they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o impute_v their_o miserable_a estate_n to_o their_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n the_o second_o consist_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o same_o which_o saint_n paul_n teach_v say_v let_v 29._o those_o that_o be_v marry_v be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o marry_v but_o how_o by_o so_o enjoy_v the_o commodity_n and_o contentation_n of_o marriage_n that_o the_o

of_o marriage_n and_o these_o christian_a profession_n that_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n the_o particular_a duty_n of_o the_o husband_n towards_o the_o wife_n be_v first_o to_o protect_v

thing_n that_o may_v just_o offend_v their_o wife_n as_o some_o there_o be_v who_o be_v prodigal_a great_a spender_n or_o idle_a and_o slack_a in_o their_o business_n do_v cause_n their_o wife_n and_o

therefore_o that_o the_o husband_n be_v head_n he_o ought_v in_o such_o wisdom_n reason_n and_o discretion_n to_o bear_v himself_o that_o he_o give_v his_o wife_n no_o just_a occasion_n of_o offence_n

albeit_o the_o wife_n shall_v minister_v just_a cause_n of_o grief_n and_o displeasure_n yet_o that_o the_o husband_n shall_v not_o thereof_o take_v occasion_n against_o his_o wife_n infirmity_n or_o

indeed_o whereas_o god_n have_v create_v the_o woman_n the_o weak_a vessel_n as_o saint_n peter_n note_v and_o do_v so_o join_v she_o to_o man_n it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o strive_v
